I'm thinking the outside limit on Carter must be reaching his limit.

That's some good fortune, but I expected him to be on second.

VV has been very impressive. Similar to McCullers, it's a real tribute to the developmental guys. Must have brutal for AA hitters.

jbm · « **Reply #25 on:** June 10, 2015, 08:24:26 pm »

Don't know why they pitch Shuck outside fastballs. His wheelhouse is slapping oppo dinkers. Has little else.

austro · « **Reply #26 on:** June 10, 2015, 08:27:11 pm »

VV doesn't seem to have the same command as McCullers, but I like his composure so far.

His fastball command has looked pretty choice tonight, to my eyes, though McCullers has really improved since his first start.

Yeah, Springer looks so good, just making contact and staying in his shoes. VV looked great. Correa looks good.

If someone had told me two weeks ago (the time when the starters were the problem and Hamels was a must) that McCullers and Velasquez would be legit (and potentially, top shelf) help, I'd have been real optimistic. Still should be really. But, of course, this lineup is full of holes and I don't really see many potential fixes. That's starting to wear away my optimism.

This is one of my favorite things about ballplayers like him. If he's on my team, he's awesome. If he's on the opposing team, he's the worst motherfucker in the world and might as well be the second coming of Stalin.
